The car powered by AIR! Egyptian students have designed an incredible one-person go-kart that runs on compressed oxygen and has a top speed of 25mph

Undergraduate students designed and built the prototype one-person vehicle

The oxygen-powered go-kart vehicle costs just £780 to build

Students who designed the car are from Helwan University, outside of Cairo

It comes as Egypt pushes ahead with painful economic reforms

These measures are tied to a three-year $12 billion (£9bn) IMF loan programme

A group of Egyptian students have built a one-person vehicle designed to battle rising energy prices and promote clean energy by running on nothing but air.

The undergraduate students created the go-kart as part of their graduation project.

According to the creators, the vehicle can hit 25 mph (40km/h) and has a range of 19 miles (30km) before it needs to be refuelled with more compressed oxygen.

However, the students are sure they will eventually get the vehicle to top 62 mph (100km/h) and run for 62 miles (100 kilometres) with future prototypes.

The vehicle only costs some 18,000 Egyptian pounds (£780/ $1,000) to build.

The undergraduates who built the machine are studying at Helwan University, found just outside Cairo.

'The operational cost of the vehicle... will be almost nothing,' said Mahmoud Yasser, a student who helped design it.

'You are basically using compressed air. You are not paying for fuel and also you do not need cooling,' he said.

The team is now looking to raise funding to expand the project and mass produce the vehicles.

They believe they can eventually get the vehicles to top 62mph (100km/h) an hour and run for 62 miles (100 kilometres) before needing to come up for more air.

The go-kart-like vehicle comes as Egypt pushes ahead with painful economic reforms that include deep cuts to energy subsidies.

These measures are tied to a three-year $12 billion (£9bn) IMF loan programme it began in late 2016.

Last month Segway also made a steerable go-kart.

Ninebot, the parent company of Segway, is expected to roll out a kit that attaches to its hoverboard model, the miniPro, according to Abacus News , which spotted the report on Chinese news site Weibo.

The kit retrofits seats, a steering wheel and a front bumper, as well as rear and front wheels onto the Segway.

The miniPro is a miniature version of the original, upright Segway, that's similar to a hoverboard, but adds a padded steering stick in the middle of the device to allow for easier maneuvering.

Segway has yet to comment on the product, beyond sharing some promotional images on its Weibo site.

It comes about a month after Segway released a pair of self-balancing e-skates.
